Our Ministry ~ Faith@Home Resources

Chinook Winds & Pacific Mountain First Third Ministry Team members create visually beautiful and theologically fabulous resources for church leaders, in-house! These magazines are for Leaders and Ministers to give to the children, youth and families in their communities of faith. All of the Faith@Home resources are designed to foster faith language and Christian practices in a home setting.​

More Context

First Third Ministry's Faith@Home resources are grounded in the celebrated gifts of our United Church of Canada denomination: positive and Affirming Christian identity, belonging for all, and social justice.
  

​
Each resource is full of practices, materials and prompts that nurture faith conversations, and encourage families of all makes and shapes to:
  • pray together
  • engage our Biblical stories
  • seek ways to live as a loving disciple of Jesus
  • grow in their Christian identity

The content is created by experienced United Church of Canada Children and Family Ministers. The resources are designed to equip church leaders in their own ministry setting. Our magazines are created with spiritual practices, prayers, crafts, games, and activities that explore the themes of the different liturgical seasons and focus on specific biblical stories taken from lectionary readings. Our resources are extremely affordable due to the in-house creation of our magazines and the bulk-sourcing of supplies for our material packets. Discount Coupons are available to further make Faith@Home resources financially accessible to communities of faith.

Faith@Home resources offer an innovative way for church leaders to engage directly with and support the faith formation in the homes of the children, youth and families in your setting.

Resources, Year Round

Our resources are intended to equip ministers in fostering relationship with their community of faith members. At this time Faith@Home resources are only available to families through their church leaders.
  • Faith@Home resources are created four times over the year, aligning with the Liturgical Seasons of the Christian year. 
  • Camp@Home is created once each year, for the summer months. ​
  • Physical orders and digital files are distributed two weeks before the start of the each Liturgical season.

@Home Resources: Financially Accessible

 First Third Ministry is committed to providing affordable resources. Discount are available for communities of faith in the Pacific Mountain and Chinook Winds Regional Council. Discount Coupon codes are shown on every Faith@Home product page; add the code you need at checkout for immediate discount.

Nurturing community, and supporting faith at home is central to your congregational ministry. ​

To figure out how many to order, tally the number of children, youth and families in your ministry area according to the details below:
  • Faith@Home Magazines and Packets (Magazines + Materials) are sold as 1 per household to foster the family sharing in the practices and activities together.
    • Order 1 Magazine or Packet (Magazines + Materials), per household that you are giving the resource to.
  • The Camp@Home resources are sold as 1 per child or youth, to meet the age and stages of each person in the household. PLUS there is a bonus Camp@Home Family Magazine!
    • Order 1 age-specific magazine for each child and youth in your ministry,
    • Order 1 Family Magazine per household.

When tallying your people, consider the different family groups who are part of your community of faith and beyond! You may want to connect with grandparents, god parents, aunts/uncles within your church and offer them the option to receive these resources from you, to reach their loved ones who may not be immediately part of your church family.
